I'm excited for this challenge. I've been hovering at my current weight for 3 months (spent 2 months in Florida for the winter where I maintained). Now I'm ready to get serious again. I also set a goal to exercise daily so I'm hoping to see results soon.

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy. ~ Saadi (Persian poet)6 -
Lord I sure could use A LOT of motivation. Fell down the rabbit hole in the summer of 2016. No excuses because I have little patience for them. 20 months and 20 lbs later I feel exhausted and disappointed
4/8: 142.6, started today with coffee, 2 slices of Dave’s Killer Bread (thin slice), 42g of avocado (yes, I am a bit OCD), and a medium hard cooked egg (I’ve got chickens so I eat a lot of eggs)
I’ll update at the end of the day.

Hi jerier!
Welcome back! Bravo for jumping back in!
BTW: I weigh everything, often in grams, too & no OCD here. I like knowing what I’m eating so I can more accurately figure out my maintenance levels in the future!
I also prefer recipes with weights for the ingredients - no measuring cups or finicky measuring spoons! Just plop bowl on scale & tare after each ingredient!! (I do this for my salads too!)
Have a great day!

I had a 55 day streak on MFP, and now I'm back to day 3, so I'm a little bummed.

Goal weight: 135-137; less is o.k. this round-anticipating weight gain on vacation
Goal for this Round: not worry about weight gain on vacation for much of Round 36 as I know how to get it off-try to get some physical activity on vacation so weight gain isn't too bad-walking, swimming, kayaking, maybe try a fitness class or two at resort

This round will be working back to achieve daily logging, eating at deficit to lose vacation gain, and returning to regular exercise. I have not weighed myself since March 25th and feel as if I have gained 15 pounds. I hope that I will get my courage up to step on the scale tomorrow morning, but if I don't, I will start to log, exercise, and eat at a deficit. Our vacation was amazing, and I knew I would gain this weight. It has been hard getting back to the kind of eating that I need to stay under 140 pounds. I will start full force tomorrow.
